Products

Jozo Salt
AkzoNobel has been producing salt products since 1929. Today, its brands Jozo and Nezo are household names in many European countries. We also supply salt for food processing, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, electrolysis and de-icing.

Elotex
Elotex is a leading producer of building material additives. AkzoNobel makes high-quality, re-dispersible powder polymers and performance additives. These can dramatically improve the performance of building products such as cement and repair mortars, stucco, floor coatings and wallpaper adhesives.

Ferrazone
Ferrazone is AkzoNobel’s brand name for sodium feredetate, an iron compound used for the treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. But Ferrazone® is no ordinary iron salt. It’s formulated to deliver maximum benefit without the side-effects associated with some other iron supplements.

Akucell
Most processed food has cellulose gum in it. And choosing the right gum for a product is crucial if it’s going to have the right composition and appearance.

Eka
AkzoNobel’s Eka products are used by pulp and paper-making industries around the world. Customers use them for everything from pulping and de-inking right through to coating special paper grades. These specialty chemicals are used for many other industrial applications as well.

Expancel
Heat an Expancel microsphere and the plastic shell softens and its volume increases by more than 40 times. According to the company, customers can save costs in materials, production, finishing, handling and transportation.

Kromasil
Introduced in 1988, Kromasil is a silica-based packing material used for the chromatographic treatment of active pharmaceutical substances, including insulin.

Bermocoll
Bermocoll is an important ingredient in products for the building industry. It has just the right consistency for cement- and gypsum-based systems. And it gives materials better water retention and adhesion.

Dissolvine
Chelate chemistry is used in everything from processing photos to preserving food. The one thing that distinguishes chelates from other compounds is that they interact strongly with metal ions in aqueous solutions. Dissolvine goes one better. AkzoNobel’s chelates have a unique structure with metal ions that are much more stable than other chelating agents.
